1ManRaid Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 2 hours ago, SirAndrew said: I read the actual full quote, and although it adds context, it can still be interpreted as Cousins saying he doesn’t care if the fans are in the stadium. He’s absolutely entitled to his opinion. Those of us who view that quote as sounding a bit arrogant/self-absorbed are also entitled to an opinion. Personally, I want to see people back out living their life everywhere, including attending football games. If Cousins is happy to not get booed, that’s cool too. Anything can be interpreted a hundred different ways, especially if someone has a narrative to push.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 How about people learn to seek out and absorb the entire quote, rather than pick out a few words and decide “ Yep, that fits my personally biased narrative” ... now THAT would be truly refreshing.

I just can’t picture that quote coming from Josh in the same manner as Cousins. I love how Josh carries himself, and have never been a big fan of how Cousins carries himself. I guess I prefer a playoff game winning drive over how one carries himself. I have that luxury as a fan. 1

Just a bunch of people pretending that he said something wrong (for whatever reason) and jumping all over him while a bunch of others point out that he didn’t actually say what he’s accused of. 1

The Vikings are a really good football team. McD has worked miracles with this Bills team. The Vikings success is far more than just Cousins. Cousins is a decent QB, but I don’t think many of you would be happy with him if he were our starting QB. Watching a playoff game and looking at the stats is different than watching a guy QB every week. 2 minutes ago, BarleyNY said: That’s ridiculous.

Some of us just interpret the quote as being a bit out of touch (even when the quote is read in context) I can also totally see why someone wouldn’t have an issue with it. I get that, there are far bigger issues that face football teams than a little quote like that. I understand why many people aren’t bothered by it. What I can’t understand is how some people don’t see it could also be taken the wrong way. That why I made the fanboy comment, some people are really digging deep to defend the comments. I’m not saying what he said is a huge deal, I can see both sides.

It means that they are such fans of a player or team that they’re not rational about them. Maybe you didn’t mean it that way, but that’s how it comes off. It’s certainly not something someone call people if they thought they were being reasonable and had a reasonable take. 1
Doc Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I don't care about Cousins one way or another. But by calling it "refreshing," it sounds like he's saying he would rather there be no fans in the stadium. And that is a very odd statement indeed. I'd be curious to see how Vikings fans are taking it.
Malazan Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) I'm sure the Vikings would find not paying Kirk Cousins' contract refreshing Edited April 16, 2020 by jeremy2020
Chandler#81 Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah? Kirk Cousins said that? Well I say the NFL playing without Kirk Cousins would be refreshing.

Cripple Creek Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Clickbait article and clickbait thread. Cousins said it would be refreshing to play without smoke and fire. He's saying he loves the game for the game. Give me a break with the hand wringing. 2

Royale with Cheese Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 If this was a public press conference, I can see this same situation with some fans. "DID YOU JUST SAY YOU HATE THE FANS KIRK?!" 1
